Beyond the Wastes of Mundaneness

What will shock me out of complacency, and spending too much of my precious life posting on Internet message boards?

I recently rented and then bought the documentary Beyond the Gates of Splendor (2005, directed and written by Jim Hanon), the story of five missionary families in Ecuador back in the 50's. All five husbands and fathers were slaughtered by the very tribe they attempted to contact and help. Such a terribly sad story, yet replete with promise and hope through God's providential hand.

I just deleted most of my message boards. Time to get serious again.
